What are your favorite leftist content creators and commentators?
I'm particularly looking for youtubers that are very active and more entertaining than focused on theory. But I would be happy to hear any of your recommendations.

unfortunately don't know of any entertainment-focused ones, but I highly recommend Geopolitical Economy Report
Boy boy, is Kurtis Conner leftist, 1Dime, Balkan Odyssey, Breakthrough News, innuendo Studios, Second Thought
Adding to Boy Boy, one of them has a channel called "I did a thing" which teaches you how to do some things and is very entertaining. Don't have your politics exclusively come from the youtube equivalent of late night showhosts though.
Yeah, why is he welding barefoot?
He’s built different
Kay and skittles, yugopnik, second thought, hakim.

If you enjoy theory and podcasts, you might check out Marx Madness. If they have a book you haven't read and would like to hear the book and get additional context (such as including current day equivalent items). I definitely need to re-read some of the books because my brain loses stuff too quickly but they'll be easier to get through the second time now that I have some context already.
I would like to know this as well! Would love some more lefty “edutainment” in my life.
If you’re looking for entertainment, why does the creators political stance matter if there is no stance pushed in the content?
I'm coming from this idea that, the creators' political stance can have an impact on the audience's beliefs and attitudes, even if it is not overtly pushed in the content. This is because subliminal messages or offhanded comments can influence the audience's perception of certain issues.
That was a great vid. Thanks. Scary though
I can’t watch right now, but will definitely watch later.
Yes! Thanks!
